LEt the nations be glad (c)
Let the glory of the Lord
forever be our joy.
May redemption be the theme
of our song.
For by grace we have been saved
and by grace we shall proclaim
to the corners of the earth
that Christ is come.
Let the nations be glad,
let the people rejoice
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the whole earth be filled
with the praises of the Lord,
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the nations be glad.
Through the ages gone before,
through the trial and sword,
many saints and martyrs conquered,
though they died.
Still, we’re holding out the cross,
crossing oceans, suffering loss;
shall endure all things to win
the crown of life.
Let the nations be glad,
let the people rejoice
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the whole earth be filled
with the praises of the Lord,
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the nations be glad.
As your holy church goes forth,
in the Holy Spirit’s power,
with the glories of the gospel
to explain.
Now we pray your kingdom come
and we pray your will be done
for the honour and the glory
of your name.
Let the nations be glad,
let the people rejoice
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the whole earth be filled
with the praises of the Lord,
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the nations be glad.
Let the nations be glad,
let the people rejoice
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the whole earth be filled
with the praises of the Lord,
for salvation belongs to our God!
Let the nations be glad.
“May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you.”
